The Italian authorities have identified the body found dismembered in a canal in the Rovigo area and it belongs to an Albanian. The victim is 71-year-old Shefki Kurti from Durrës, but he lived for years in Rovigo, married and retired.
The dead body was found Thursday morning by the river maintenance worker. First they found a leg, then an arm, then the head, and then the garbage bag with the other parts was found.
Investigators link the incident to another gruesome murder that took place in April of this year, but the corpse has not been identified so far. In this case too, the dismembered body was found in a black garbage bag.
The Italian police have invited all those people who have useful information about the victim to come to the police station.
